ssWho speaks for this man ?" From the great white
Throne,
Yelled in its roseate clouds the voice came
forth:
Before it stood parted soul alone,
And rolling east and west, and south and
north,
The mighty accents summoned quick and dead /:
"Who speaks for this man, ere his doom be
said?"
Shivering, he listened, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull unnoted calm away;
He brought no glory to his daily strife,
No wreath of fame, or genius fiery ray;
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure,
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor.
Lo, from the solemn concourse, hushed and dim,
The widows prayer, the orphans blessing
rose;
The struggler told Of trouble shared by him,
The lonely of cheered hours and softened woes ];
And like the chorus spoke the crushed and sad,
"He gave us all he could, and what he had"
And tender thoughts, and held In time of need,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft spring showers fed,
In some waste corner, sown by chance-fung
seed;
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
Such trifes gathered to so blest whole.
o ye, by circumstance strong fetters bound,
The store so little, and the hand go frail,
Do but the best ye can for all around;
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail;
Winning among your neighbors poor and weak
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.
All the Year Round.

He Mixed the Tokens Up.


In four out of every five watches
brought US to be regulated, repaired or
cleaned we find some token. Some.
times it is a bit Of ribbon or 51OCk sSs
hair, or rose petal. But oftener it's
four-leaf clover. The four-leaf clover
is love token always. 1t is by the
maiden fair given to her lover, who
tenderly slows it away in the back of
his watch-case and forgets all about it.
When his watch goes wrong he takes
it to jeweler and doesn't think of the
relic it contains. 1t is difficult always
to keep things straight, and once in
while we mix them up.
One fellow came in short time ago
and registered kick. He took out of
his watch a tiny bit of blonde hair tied
with piece of pink ribbon, and told
me in good round terms that it had got
him into trouble. 4 brought my
watch here couple of weeks ago to be
regulated and forgot to take out four
leaf clover l had in the back of it.
didn't think any more about it till last
night, when my girl looked in the back
case to see if the clover was still there.
When she found this lock of blonde
hair she fixed me with cold, glittering
glance and offered me back my rig.
/ put in the next hour trying to explain
that | didn't know anything about the
internal blonde hair, and didn't meet
with fattering success. Nov, if you
don't hunt up that clove' I'll make
more trouble in your b .nked old
store than deputy S eriff. And
you've got to give me ' atten state
ment that you put this ds.shed blonde
hair in my watch or Il prosecute you
for malicious mischief. You hear me J.
Well, foresaw trouble in the air,
but took the yellow hair and pink rib
bon and laid it away, and in a day or
two middle-aged man came in with
wrath all over his face. what in
thunder do you mean by disrupting a
mans family peace7' he began, as ne
pulled out his watch and took a four
leafed clover out of the back case
DO you want to break up loving
household and get me into the divorce
court2 l left my watch here with
lock of my wife's hair in it, and last
night she found this measly four Leaf

had occurred, and his brow cleared
Now | think Of it, he said, as he start

it and seal it for all you're WORTH
Women never believe a man unless he
lies to EN-, and l want something to
save furtheif trouble did SO, and he
departed With his mind at rest.
The OTHER young man came in in a
day or tw and said he desired to make
his regular Thursday evening call and
wanted lis four leaf clover and the ac-
compan WING affidavit. He got them
both.

Dainty but Dangerous.

Her enchanting little boot
From beneath her jaunty suit
Ventured out.
That she knew its witching charm,
Without meaning any harm,
Who could doubt.
Just single little glance
Filled my life with wild romance
] was caught!
Sparkling eyes and soft, brown hair,
Hers was just the beauty rare
had sought.
So wooed the charming maid,
First enchanted, as said,
By her boot.
Now, alas I'm well aware
Boots and tempers seldom are
Built to suit.
For our friendship ripened fast,
And, before year was past.
We were wed.
Now both boots and other things
Recklessly she often sings
At my head!
